Book Signing with Illinois Author Joe Chianakas at Bobzbay Books

We’re excited to welcome Peoria-based author Joe Chianakas to the shop for a meet & greet and book signing! Joe is the author of the Unveiling Aiden series (a young adult LGBTQ+ adventure romance series featuring the titles Singlets and Secrets and Pride and Persistence) and the Rabbit in Red trilogy, a teen horror hit! All of Joe’s books will be available for purchase during the event.

About Singlets and Secrets: Joe describes Singlets and Secrets as an unapologetically gay karate kid or queer Cobra Kai story. “Dripping with raw emotion, unexpected twists, and more than a dash of hope, Singlets and Secrets isn’t just more high school drama. It’s a deep dive into figuring out who you are and accepting it no matter what someone else may think-a heroic journey that speaks to the struggling teenager in us all.”

About Pride and Persistence: “A rousing story of love versus hate, where hidden truths and life-altering decisions lay behind every corner, Pride and Persistence celebrates the indomitable spirit within us all-the fighter that refuses to stay down, no matter how many times one falls.”

About Rabbit in Red: “Bill Wise has blood in his past, so he turns to horror films to wipe it clean. Jaime Stein has felt the betrayal of death, so she too takes refuge in the on-screen deaths of others. Now Bill, Jaime, and other horror-loving teens have gathered at Rabbit in Red Studios, the brainchild of eccentric horror producer Jay “JB” Bell, for the terror-filled, blood-drenched contest of their lives.”
